The Lighthouse at Whitby Bay

A dead lighthouse keeper. A village full of secrets. And a golden key that nobody can explain.

On a windy Sunday morning, Inspector Alba Cross and Sergeant Tom Ellery arrive in the small village of Whitby Bay. Arthur Penn, the old keeper of the lighthouse, is dead in his round room at the top of 112 steps. Two cups of tea, a red scarf and a little golden key lie in the room. Five people have something to hide, and the tide is rising. Can Alba find the truth before the sea closes the path?
